Safest Chemical Peel for Home Use? I had acne which has cleared up mostly but now I still have the problem of mild acne scarring, and enlarged pores. I was thinking of trying a 15% TCA Peel but having read so many negative reviews of scarring from it afterwards, I have thought to instead get something else such as a Jessner's peel.
I am not going to have this done professionally so which do you think, will I have more success with?

A: Wet blanket

Sorry to spoil the party, but I don't think a 15% TCA peel is going to do anything for your acne scarring. I typically use a 20-25% peel for fine lines and these are much easier to treat than acne scars. I would save the misery and go see a plastic surgeon in your area who can at least go over the best options for you. After that, save your money and get the best treatment FOR YOUR PROBLEM not the best one you can afford now.

Necessary to Have Treatments Before Face Peels? Is it really necessary to use treatments before getting the face peel? Is it possible to skip that and just get the peel ASAP?

A: Necessary, no....

Patients often pretreat with Retin-A and with an anti-viral prior to facial peels. These are to improve your overall result and to limit your chance of developing cold sores after the peel. While I think there is benefit to both these medications, its not critical and you can certainly have a peel without them. Be sure to avoid sun exposure postop as any peel can sensitize you to the sun.

The peel is superficial, yet aggressive enough to remove dead skin cells, blackheads, superficial lines, and shrink pore size. The stinging during treatment is less intense than with other peels. The actual peeling process of the skin is light and flaky, similar to a mild sunburn. I wanted something stronger than a... more
